| Haptics, fade, apps | SRV-1/2 | OpenVR | ✓ | no |
| Tests | NFR-8 | QtTest | ✓ (host only) | no |
**Lesson:** "present" was checked by file only. Check that a library loads (`ldd … | grep "not
found"`) and that its package version matches the rest of Qt (`pacman -Q | grep qt6-`).
Also present and possibly useful later: `libQt6TextToSpeech`, Qt's `networkinformation` plugin.
